Certain organic mercury compounds, such as phenyl mercury and methoxyalkyl mercury, are metabolized relatively fast in the human body and are excreted in urine. In contrast to methyl mercury, these compounds do not accumulate in the body nor do they cause toxicity in the central nervous system. On the other hand they affect renal function, and mercury-... 

Organic mercury can be absorbed via the lung, gut and skin, and also cause chronic poisoning. There are two varieties aryl and alkyl, and they have different effects on the body. The aryl variety, of which phenyl mercury is an example, has a similar metabolic pathway to inorganic mercury and has a similar clinical effect.
